Really I have it from a reliable internet source, that yesterday was National Magic day. Maybe the main magic of the day was that the storm, although fierce, was controlled and although lives were lost, many were saved. Many people prayed for each other and sent powerful messages of hope through the ether. We had […]
Today is National Magic Day and my son said that yesterday was National Cat Day. Here’s a link to Mashable.com’s cat pictures shared by staff. I found out a little late that October 29 was that important. I always thought that it was just memorable because it commemorated the great stock market crash of 1929.
Yesterday it rained – all day and today it’s still raining and it is forecast to rain until Thursday. Well yesterday I moped around until about 3:00pm because I couldn’t get out – I know I could, but I would get wet and I’m a whimp!! Finally, I decided that I really had to make
Maybe one of my focusing words yesterday also should have been “Zen,” then I would have accepted the day for what it was and found something positive in it. Well in spite of the cold and the grey, I was able to get out to pick up something very zesty for lunch at one of
“Yang” was one of my focusing words yesterday. In Chinese philosophy it is the active principle of the universe, characterized as heaven, male, light and penetrating. Well the weather yesterday may have been all that and more. The high yesterday was about 25C and for late October it was amazing!! I did a 2 mile
I may suffer from Xenophobia and don’t know it – but I don’t think so. I remember the first time I had to transfer money into someone’s bank account in South Korea for an order of shell buttons. I transferred an amount that I felt I could just “lose” in the leap to do some
“W’s” are interesting characters. They look like 2 “V’s” merged. Does that mean that they are twice as emphatic as “V’s”? The Latin alphabet had no “W’s.” So I guess in a sense they are hybrids. However, classical Latin, not church Latin, pronounced all the “V’s” as “W’s” – as in Weni, Widi, Wicti, which
Monday itself might have been the “victorious” in my focusing exercise. It was a glorious day 18 degrees C, sunny, full of Fall colours. I just soaked it up. It was a vivacious “in your face” kind of day and I didn’t mind at all!! My daughter called too with her “victory.” She has a
Today made up for yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day, almost warm, with a breeze. People were in shirt sleeves or light jackets. There was no need to bundle up. It was an unfettered day. We were not constrained by time either. We didn’t have to be here or there by this hour or
Rain is tangible. Very wet leotards clinging to sodden thighs is tangible. I feel as though I am about to write a Gothic novella or something; but then I realized that I used the word “leotard.” Nobody uses that word anymore, unless you’re a member of the National Ballet and even then maybe not. So
